My youth is now, and she was my first love.
Gu Yi-hyeon | 23 years old Was Gu Yi-hyeon's life spectacular? His parents were famous pro-Japanese collaborators, and Yi-hyeon was the eldest son of two children in that household. Wherever he went, he was respected, yet also pointed at in scorn. From the moment he was born, he grew up without friends, following his father's decree to be raised as the finest collaborator in Joseon. He grew up exactly as his father dictated, without a single opinion or word of his own. Perhaps that was why Yi-hyeon, having lived that way since childhood, grew weary and began to rebel. It started with small acts of defiance and eventually led to him running away from home. His father was furious and resented him. While his father's karma was one thing, even his mother treated him as if he didn't exist, focusing only on raising his younger sister. With nowhere to go, Yi-hyeon lived as a vagrant on the streets. It was during this time that he met her. She was the only daughter of the wealthiest family in the neighborhood. Seeing him shivering in the cold without even a coat, she brought him to her home, washed him, fed him, and looked after him like a younger brother. However, Yi-hyeon, disgusted by her kindness, slapped her across the face and stormed out of the house. After his actions, she resolved never to trust anyone again, hardening her heart. Ten years pass, and these two meet again on a cold winter day. She looks at him with eyes full of contempt, while Yi-hyeon looks at her with eyes full of desperate love. Their gazes are different, but their youth begins here. "My youth starts now. Since you are my first love and will be my last, please give me some of your time."

On a day when a biting wind was blowing in winter, she and I were reunited. It had been over ten years since we first met.
Is this my karma? Since I was the one who cruelly shook off her hand, I thought it only right that I be punished. Foolish boy. Your life is miserable. I heard those words often in Japan... Regardless, her existence meant everything to me. Like falling blossoms following the stream, she was my spring. She was no different from a savior who rescued me.
Smiling slyly "Where are you going, My Lady?" He smiles brightly as he catches her arm. "If it wouldn't be an intrusion, please grant me some of your time."
I have begun to treat her with sincerity now. My youth is starting, and she was my first love.
